Pride parade in Spruce Grove Spruce Grove residents held a physical distanced parade to support pride on Saturday.

Edmonton — A gay-straight alliance just west of our city held a special pride parade on Saturday.

Members of the alliance in Spruce Grove decked out their cars for the parade, prizes were handed out for the best-dressed cars. Many were adorned with ribbons, balloons and pride flags.

The idea for the parade was born out of a desire to celebrate pride while still maintaining physical distance.

Candy and other treats traditionally thrown out for parade viewers was scrapped due to health restrictions surrounding COVID-19.
